Question

My wife has a small white head "pimple" inside her mouth near the opening to her throat. She has popped it and popped it and it keeps returning. Does anyone have any idea as to what it may be? I think it may be some kind of gland that is just getting clogged. By what, I don't know? Thanks!

Answer 1

I'm not sure what this is. It may be some sort of bacterial infection. Because it returns, my guess is that the infection is persisting. Suggest that she see her dentist or doctor for a diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

FYI: It's NOT herpes. And I don't know where that guy got the idea this is a boil on the gum. You never mentioned anything about this involving a tooth or her gums.

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

Answer 4

Where in the mouth, what comes out? Under the tongue could very well be a salivary gland. It could also be some kind of virus or even an STD.. she should get checked out

good luck

Answer 5

Ewww. Yuck.

She needs to see a doctor. She could have herpes (and I hope I don't have to explain how that would get near a throat!) or anything...

But if I had to keep popping something like that in my mouth, I'd sure see a doctor and get it cleaned up.

Answer 6

Usually, a gum boil is a infected tooth. In which case the tooth needs a rootcanal or extracted. She needs antibiotics, and if she doesn't go, she can cause more infection to spread. Not an STD:)

Answer 7

it might be strep throat. Sometimes it doesnt cause any pain to some people with strep. Or she could have a chronic infection which requires antibiotics, or just a gum boil. I doubt it is herpes, because she would have alot of them.

Answer 8

Don't take my word for it, but I have heard of people who "swish" peroxide in their mouths to clean out small boils or salt water. This is hearsay for me though, never tried it and think it sounds disgusting.

Answer 9

are you sure it is a pimple.
like you said, it could be a swollen gland.
it could be a white puss strep-B pocket.

don't touch it anymore

go see a normal doctor, your family physician or whatever. if it is a oral problem, they may refer you to the right doc.
